Chapter 1
Nothing is permanent- that is something I have come to learn as a Priest. Change can announce itself with thunderous applause or thunderous silence. In my experience, there are very few random happenings, no- from what I have seen, nearly everything can be traced back and unfurled to reveal its beginnings. That is the uncomfortable truth. In my time in Killtara, I have had the privilege of being up close and personal with the Parishioners during key moments in their lives- good and bad. Now I want to examine these people with you. I want to make sense of if all. Why did the Bourke siblings unravel after the death of their elderly parents; why did our Muinteoir Mrs O Shea take her own life; who is the father of Shanon Moffet’s baby?
Which of our parishioners would you like to meet first?
